I did the same thing. Flew to San Antonio Texas to pick up my 2002 gts (red w white stripes), drove it back 1200 miles to Illinois. Congratulations on the purchase
I hear you, gen 4 is where it’s at. But honestly the gen 3 is a heck of a lotta car for the money, and can still somewhat find parts for it compared to gen 2 or 1
Cool content and congratulations on the great find! I’m looking forward to watching more of the progress but man I don’t think I could part with the Viper after the prep and polish. Thanks for sharing, DC
Hey! I live in San Antonio and am looking for a Viper GTS! You beat me to it! Congrats on the purchase! Subscribed. Keep us updated on your experience with the car.
My wife and I love San Antonio, can’t wait to go back! Keep looking, I’m sure you’ll find a good one! I’ve got a lot of videos out on common issues with the 03-10 Vipers and fixes if you do end up getting one. Thanks for the support!
@3:53 I would rather have all those classics parked in front of the SRT-10 lol. But to be fair it's definitely a great looking car and I hope that you're enjoying it.. Thanks for sharing the journey with us and I can't wait to see what you do next. 🙏🍻
@@9NailzGarage If I'm not mistaken that one all the way to our left was a model T pickup right?.. The biggest reason I have to get one is for my dad, as far back as I can remember I heard many stories of how he'll own on some day and well he sacrificed a lot for me and my siblings growing up and I want more than anything to make that a reality so when I saw it I kinda got excited lol. My mom is easy to buy for because she just wants her first car which was a '69 VW Beetle in canary yellow lol. They're almost 70 now and I've been working hard trying to make it happen for both of them because I know how much they sacrificed for us and now that I'm in my 30's I appreciate everything.. Sorry for the life story and rambling on but I saw that old-school pick-up and it made me think about my father.. Anyways as I said before thanks for sharing this with us and I hope that all is well with you and the family in these hard/crazy times we've been in the last year. 🙏🙏
@@imhappyandyou.4003 that’d be cool if you were able to get one for him! That was a model t in the background, i think it was priced really well too, maybe $14k if I remember right. I remember thinking it seemed really cheap!
@@holmieg3435 thanks but it’s already gone. The idea is to keep buying and selling to make money and get better and better cars. Hopefully a 5th gen one day soon
Staring up a car, revving it when it’s cold, is the most un-car guy thing to do. Not sure if that’s what you guys did. But that’s the way the video started.
i live in San Antonio, there are a few in Illinois ive seen for sale, can you go test drive one of them and then drive it down here for me? lol.....nice car!
Too bad the entire A/C system will need replaced in the future since you added that refrigerant with sealant in it. That crap plugs up and destroys the entire system which I imagine isn't cheap and hard to find N.O.S. parts.
Right, the sealant can be bad however the only parts that were at risk of actual damage or clogging are the dryer or the restrictive orifice, two items that should be replaced any time an ac system is serviced anyways. I was in a bind so that was my alternative to heat stroke 🥵 Thanks for watching!
@@9NailzGarage But unfortunately you can't flush a compressor so it will be in the system until you replace compressor, drier, orifice, condenser, and flush evaporator. I get the pinch you were in, it's just too bad they can't sell refrigerant without sealant. That stuff can even plug up a shops A/C machine. I watched a couple more videos and seen you are a knowledgeable guy, was nothing against you, just hate that it is even allowed for that crap to be sold to the public. Keep up the good work sir
By driving across the country to take the car form another country to your home country. Does that still cost you custom duty tax or you can avoid it in this way?

Very cool! Thank you!
Gen 4s are not dropping like I'd hoped... G5 is on another planet entirely 😂💸
I hear you, gen 4 is where it’s at. But honestly the gen 3 is a heck of a lotta car for the money, and can still somewhat find parts for it compared to gen 2 or 1
That was fun! The videographer deserves a raise!
She gets paid enough! Lol
860 miles is not across the country
It's a sin not washing it right away...

It was a tough decision but I was just thankful to be able to own it for a little while! Definitely looking for another in the future.
Congratulations on the Gen 3 Viper.... welcome to the Viper community...
Thank you!
GEN 3 AND 4……. Best looking generation of vipers hands down baby unmistakable

If you ride motorcycles, especially a cruiser you appreciate that loud noise. Never need ear plugs lol.
Haha I usually do appreciate the loud noise, just not for 12 hours lol
Congrats and amazing channel 😎 You've got one more subscriber 😁🥂🍾
Thank you very much!
I bought my dream Gen2 Viper GTS. I can’t imagine I’ll ever sell it.
A lot of people don’t, I get bored to easily whenever I finish a project I need to sell it so I can start over.
Don’t ever sell it, there will never be a better car
@@holmieg3435 thanks but it’s already gone. The idea is to keep buying and selling to make money and get better and better cars. Hopefully a 5th gen one day soon
@@9NailzGarage is there any reason you sold it? Or was it just for profit
Absolutely beautiful as is!
Thank you!
I would like to see it in my garage
Congratulations buddy!
Thank you!
You got me subscribed👍
I appreciate it!

That’s not at all what happened, that was just a clip inserted at the beginning of the video.
Thanks for sharing for those who don’t know.
@@9NailzGarage, I’m jealous!!! 😂
i live in San Antonio, there are a few in Illinois ive seen for sale, can you go test drive one of them and then drive it down here for me? lol.....nice car!
How much you paying? Lol
Maybe convert the head lights and fog lights to LED or to LED bulbs?
I’ve been thinking about it! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll see what happens!
Funny watching vehicles passing you
It was so much fun! Wish we could’ve gotten all of them on camera!

were those the factory mufflers on that car as it seemed louder than most Vipers. Like it had glass pack or something
I’m pretty sure it had flow master glass packs on it, sounded pretty good for what it was
Nice car. What search engine (sites) did you use to locate the car?
Thanks, I used every auto website I could find. Ended up finding this one on Facebook
I think I passed you today, do you live in Tennessee?
Im only subbing because I was told I have to by some boatswains mate.
Haha thanks!
Dam they couldn’t park any closer to the classic car ?
We thought the same thing! Hard to believe the paint was in such good shape with a park job like that!
dude how much was the cheap dodge viper?
45k
@@9NailzGarage dude that is not cheap
that is way more then buying a tesla model 3
@@yahyasaud566 it may be lol but a Tesla model s is a completely different car

It was driven all within the US
When you selling your car
Sold it a while ago
Should just say what you paid for it. Only why people look at the video
Paid $45,000
Price?
There's going to be a reval video after I sell it
Which country i cud get 1
Save save save!
@@9NailzGarage no bro which country selling 1 cheper
Wanna sell it?
Already sold, wish I still had it!
You know what I want to see...... burnouts!!
Haha might be coming soon!
How much did you pick it up for?
There's going to be a reval video after I sell it
car so cheap the dealership refused to wash it, even with knowledge you were flying in. shesh.
Yea was pretty bad, but that's why it was cheap! Pretty sure it was a part of a divorce from the dealership owner.
Looks to be a horrible sitting position seeing your knees so high.
Yea, it wasn’t the most comfortable for 12 hours but it was still pretty fun
